"Don't worry about the Austrians, let's do our own thing first." After entering the Italian airspace, as time went by, the newly formed formation became lazy again. However, Grimm had no intention of focusing on the opponent at this time.

There was no further delay over the territory. So he could only bombard the lancers under his command first.

The bombing wing was gathered together, and then they took care of the German twin-engine bomber force. As for the Austrians? I'll help if you can. So the entire fleet began to be divided into two parts, one was the German bomber formation and the other was the Austrian bomber formation. Although both sides

We are allies acting together, but at this time we can only do our own thing.

"They seem to hold a grudge." A German fighter squadron leader in charge of left wing security said to himself as he looked at the Allied fighter planes lingering in the distance. Then he turned to look at the Austro-Hungarian formation below, but there was no harassment. In the distance,

The Allied fighter jets stared at the bomber formation next to them as if they had discovered a bloody shark, hoping to pounce on it and take a bite if they had the chance.

"Captain, something is flying behind you at 4 o'clock!" At this moment, a slightly panicked voice sounded on the communication channel. The squadron leader turned his head and saw a small team flying towards the direction with his back to the sun.

Fighters, they circled to the rear of the formation, and took advantage of the altitude to swoop down.

"Pediatrics." The squadron leader is not in a hurry. He has experienced this situation many times. As long as he rolls slightly in the opposite direction of the opponent's dive at the right time, he can avoid the opponent's attack and retain his energy.

He can then choose a suitable angle to chase after him.

Although the enemy aircraft at the end of the dive has converted altitude into speed, the aircraft's dive speed limit has a limit. The opponent must eventually escape from the dive, and at that time he will lose his only speed advantage. And he will

You can occupy the position just behind the opponent to launch an attack.

The sneak attack from the rear was very unsuccessful from a tactical point of view. The four fighter jets did not shoot down a single enemy aircraft, but instead made themselves passive. However, their impact eventually caused chaos in the German fighter formation, and

Just when the Germans were preparing to pursue, the squadron of Allied fighter jets that had been cruising in the distance rushed forward! A total of 16 fighter jets rushed towards the 12 German aircraft. The attack of the former was just to break up the formation, while the attack of the latter was

Main force.

"This team is extraordinary." The German squadron leader observed the opponent's attack pattern. The 16 aircraft were divided into 4 groups, each group of 4. The formation was a bit like a human finger. It was very asymmetrical. He was a little confused.

He understood the situation of the opponent's formation. But after a few minutes, he finally understood that two of the four aircraft formations were responsible for attacking.

It fires, while the other two cover its flanks. Compared with the two-plane formation, the coverage between the formations is more complete, and there are more opportunities to fire. (The author is not particularly familiar with the direct tactics of fighter jets, and everyone is welcome to correct me.

.Historically, the earliest inventor of the four-finger formation was the Germans, but everyone knows about it because of a certain time traveler.)

The height of both sides is almost the same, and it is a head-on collision. There is nothing fancy about this kind of battle. Unlike free hunting, the pilot has great freedom. He can search for a careless target for a long time and then attack from behind.

Launch an attack and shoot down the opponent before they can react. In formation combat, friendly forces

They can provide each other with vision for each other, and when attacking, if you dodge the attack of one plane, you may directly hit the muzzle of another plane. The distance between the air combat in the second battle is not far, and the two sides collide head-on.

The effective range of 100 meters will be missed almost instantly. Therefore, there is no way to maneuver at all.

The Germans could not move at will in order to protect their bombers. The Allies, on the other hand, wanted to directly confront the opponent with their better horizontal mobility, solid body and fierce firepower. (Historically, the British Spitfire's horizontal mobility was stronger than that of the BF109.

So on the European battlefield, spitfire and fight bf10

9 It’s usually a dog fight, but when it came to the Pacific battlefield, it was a dog fight with a more naughty egg, and then the British were decisively fooled by the so-called experience.) This style of play will shorten the technical gap between the two sides as much as possible.

, just like shooting, victory belongs to the side with more people, more guns and stronger strength.

The escorting German aircraft squadron was forced to break away from its formation and fight with the invading opponent's fighter jets. The two sides continued to pass through the dense fire net, and tongues of flames danced in the air. From time to time, an unlucky guy was thrown into the air.

The shell hit, then dragged the flames and fell to the ground. The two sides were here

No one took a big advantage in this fight. The Germans had better technology, but the opponent had more people. After each side lost 4 aircraft, they finally gave up. However, when the two sides fought, several

A figure quickly passed through the air and rushed towards a squadron of German twin-engine bombers.

"Thunder, there is a vacancy on your right wing, be careful of the opponent's fighter jets." Just when the captain of the Thunder bomber squadron received the alert from his comrades, four twin-engine fighter jets came over from his 4 o'clock direction. "This is

Isn't it an aircraft from the ground attack squadron on the northern line? How did it get here?" Several big question marks popped up on the Germans' heads.

The Germans have seen this kind of aircraft, but they are mostly used for ground attack missions, which makes the German ground troops fighting in the northern mountains miserable. Why are they used in air combat this time? The Germans are very puzzled. However,

Now is obviously not the time to consider these things. The Germans decisively resorted to the box formation to protect themselves. After the great success of the last strategic bombing, the Germans decisively added weapons to the twin-engine bombers in an attempt to pass the same

ways to ensure your own safety.

Dense 7.92mm machine gun bullets and 13mm machine gun bullets were fired at the incoming aircraft like locusts, but the opponent actually ignored it and continued to fly in a straight line. The bullets clanked and hit the armor on the front of the aircraft.

Sparks. Even a 7.92mm machine gun bullet hit the front bulletproof glass, leaving a dent and spider web-like cracks on it.

"This thing is really leathery." Boeing listened to the occasional collisions on the aircraft body and felt the vibrations of the aircraft. Although it was hit many times, the aircraft itself did not have major problems. At least the engine was running normally and the control

There is no problem with firepower. The distance of a few hundred meters is only measured in seconds for an aircraft. After passing through the opponent's interception firepower, the direct distance between the two sides has been shortened to about 300 meters!

"Feel the power of the heavy hammer!" Boeing pressed the nose of the plane slightly, and the two 30mm cannons and two 20mm cannons of the Foxbat interceptor fired a deadly rain of bullets at the same time. The tongue of flames spewed out from the nose of the plane was enough.

It's about 5 feet, like a pile driver

The sound constantly irritated Bowington's eardrums. This is why this weapon is called an air hammer. The warhead weighing dozens of grams flew from the barrel at a speed of 600 meters per second, and crashed into a plane of less than 300 meters.

On the fuselage of a bomber meters away.

The blunt warhead easily tore apart the upper skin, and then the fuse detonated the explosives and incendiary in the shell. With a whoosh, a fireball appeared on the upper body of the unlucky bomber and began to follow the skin.

Spreading around. Almost at the same time,

Another 30mm machine gun shell hit the cab of the bomber. A huge fire ball spurted out from the nose of the aircraft, and then the aircraft began to fall downwards with the fire all over it. Only two shells hit it.

Destroyed a twin-engine bomber.

One of Botonton's teammates did a good job. Four machine cannons easily broke the wing of a medium bomber from the root. Four aircraft destroyed two bombers in one sneak attack. This kind of achievement had never been done before.

Dare to imagine. "It's a very nice aircraft, I like it, just like an aerial tank." Boeing patted the thick armor next to the cabin and said with satisfaction.

"Captain, the opponent's fighter jet is coming up. It's at the 10 o'clock direction of the opponent." The wingman reported. "Let's go. This time it's just an appetizer. We'll serve them dinner in a while!" Boeing didn't mind the other side.

When the enemy arrived, he pushed the control stick decisively and dived at low altitude. It didn't matter if the other party was willing to abandon the escort mission and pursue them. Bodenton would fly directly to an anti-aircraft gun position to solve the trouble behind him.

After the German fleet entered Italian airspace, Allied and Italian fighter squadrons coming from all over the country began to harass the German fleet. A large number of escort fighters were forced into a fight with the opponent's fighter jets, which was not very dense in the first place.

The protection system begins to show loopholes. Look at the icon

Each squadron was entangled by the opponent, and Grim was also a little panicked. At this time, there were only three squadrons surrounding the Lancer bomber wing. This was almost the minimum air defense he could tolerate.

strength. At this time, they were still more than half an hour away from their target.

"What's the situation with the twin-engine bomber squadron?" Grimm asked over the radio. "It's very bad. Many fighters have broken through the blockade. At present, we have probably lost a squadron of medium bombers. They seem to have invested in a new type of fighter.

, the firepower is very fierce, and if you are lucky, you can kill a target in one dive." There was a sense of worry in the words on the other side of the radio.

"Deploy two more squadrons from the Austrians. Especially the twin-engine fighter squadron, they must come over. We have to be prepared. I have a feeling that we are likely to encounter the largest aerial attack since the war began.

Battle!" Grimm said after thinking for a while.
